This is a short found footage film, appropriated from the 16mm educational film "One Woman's Opinion," a film created to promote the sales of gravesites in an old Memphis, TN cemetary. The full film is 14 min. long, but in the interests of posting this to facebook, I edited it down to help the old married couple in the film get to the point a little quicker. I've flagged this creative commons, so feel free to appropriate the video if you like. Full version of the film is available on...

This is a film called All About Fire, an animated safety film distributed in the 1980's by Pyramid Films. It features Murphy the cat, who comments disparagingly on his owners' moronic mishaps as regards fire safety. They collect burning cigarette butts after a party in paper bags, use coins to replace burnt electrical fuses in their breaker box, and leave open gas cans next to their heating unit with its open pilot light. Oh, and don't forget playing with matches amidst dry grass. Topics: fire safety, educational film, ephemeral film, safety film, 16mm, pyramid films, animation

This is an old 16mm film produced by the National Rifle Association, dedicated to self-defense for women. It's pretty tame, and doesn't even have any guns in it. Women are shown rather defending themselves with hairpins, their nails, and by locking themselves in their cars with handkerchiefs as SOS flags. It's narrated by a conservative police woman: a proud "NRA member." What the intention of this film is is murky. To scare women into buying guns? A public service? Who knows. This is...

A British Sex Ed film about Susan, a young girl who's parents are expecting a son. The film uses this scenario to lecture Susan indirectly about everything from the proper behavior of a young girl, to lessons on reproductions, and the kind of behavior expected from her as the daughter to expectant parents, and as a future sibling to her brother. Lots of very sexist moments, and bad behavior by the Dad, such as making Susan do his chores. Topics: british, sex education, educational film, 16mm, ephemeral film

A British sex-ed film, which is directed at British Teenagers who are going through puberty (thus doubling as a social guidance film). The film is fraught with an extremely patriarchal, condescending narration, that spares neither young boys nor young girls. It equates "sexual promiscuity" (as in sex outside of marriage, and birth out of wedlock), with moral chaos. The film also has very narrow definition as to what the appropriate societal roles are for girls and boys: in future...
